Lew Tucker discusses the power of community-developed open source software like OpenStack. He notes that humans' ability to cooperate in large numbers has led to major advances, similar to how OpenStack has grown due to collaboration between companies and developers. OpenStack is now used widely in production environments and enables new types of hybrid cloud architectures through its open development model. Tucker argues open source platforms like OpenStack provide benefits like agility, lower costs, and avoidance of vendor lock-in for both companies and customers.

Cloud 2.0 - How Containers, Microservices and Open Source Software are Redefi...Mark Hinkle
Led by the rocket like success of Amazon Web Services cloud computing is a paradigm shift in the way we host and deploy infrastructure. Organizations are consuming cloud infrastructure across multiple cloud providers both inside their data center and the data centers of others. The advent of highly portable workloads via containers (e.g. Docker) and discrete units of computing delivered by microservices are enabling organizations (like Netflix) to deploy complex multi-layered products and services at breakneck speeds.
This talk will give an overview of the major cloud services and the open source software (e.g. OpenStack, Apache CloudStack) that can be used to deliver and manage cloud computing infrastructure(e.g. Puppet, Chef, Ansible). The discussion will cover the evolution of cloud computing and how that sets the stage for realizing the agility, flexibility and power of cloud computing.
Attendees should expect to learn about the leading technologies in cloud computing, strategies for using open source software to create/manage cloud computing services and to gain an understanding how current developments are providing a way to create a single cloud fabric that best serves their individual needs.
OSCON 2013 - The Hitchiker’s Guide to Open Source Cloud ComputingMark Hinkle
And while the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) is a wholly remarkable book it doesn’t cover the nuances of cloud computing. Whether you want to build a public, private or hybrid cloud there are free and open source tools that can help provide you a complete solution or help augment your existing Amazon or other hosted cloud solution. That’s why you need the Hitchhiker’s Guide to (Open Source) Cloud Computing (HHGTCC) or at least to attend this talk understand the current state of open source cloud computing. This talk will cover infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service and developments in big data and how to more effectively deploy and manage open source flavors of these technologies. Specific the guide will cover:
Infrastructure-as-a-Service – The Systems Cloud – Get a comparison of the open source cloud platforms including OpenStack, Apache CloudStack, Eucalyptus and OpenNebula
Platform-as-a-Service – The Developers Cloud – Learn about the tools that abstract the complexity for developers and used to build portable auto-scaling applications ton CloudFoundry, OpenShift, Stackato and more.
Data-as-a-Service – The Analytics Cloud – Want to figure out the who, what, where, when and why of big data? You’ll get an overview of open source NoSQL databases and technologies like MapReduce to help parallelize data mining tasks and crunch massive data sets in the cloud.
Network-as-a-Service – The Network Cloud – The final pillar for truly fungible network infrastructure is network virtualization. We will give an overview of software-defined networking including OpenStack Quantum, Nicira, open Vswitch and others.
Finally this talk will provide an overview of the tools that can help you really take advantage of the cloud. Do you want to auto-scale to serve millions of web pages and scale back down as demand fluctuates. Are you interested in automating the total lifecycle of cloud computing environments You’ll learn how to combine these tools into tool chains to provide continuous deployment systems that will help you become agile and spend more time improving your IT rather than simply maintaining it.
[Finally, for those of you that are Douglas Adams fans please accept the deepest apologies for bad analogies to the HHGTTG.]

OpenStack & the Evolving Cloud EcosystemMark Voelker
OpenStack has come a long way since 2010. What started as a collaboration on compute and storage between NASA and Rackspace has changed dramatically and grown into a large, successful open source project that meets the needs of thousands of organizations. But OpenStack hasn’t evolved in a vacuum over the past seven years: the technology landscape around it has been changing as well. Join VMware’s chief OpenStack architect and longtime community member Mark Voelker for a look at the new technology landscape around OpenStack, how we got here, and where we might go next. We’ll discuss how what started as an IaaS platform ending up being a winning platform for Network Functions Virtualization and telco applications, how OpenStack came to be selected as a common underpinning for container orchestration systems like Kubernetes, how OpenStack governance influenced other open source communities, and how OpenStack changed the way companies looked at Open Source. We’ll consider the role IaaS might play in a future that includes options like functions-as-a-service, containers, and the internet of things. We’ll consider OpenStack as a common foundation for a variety of new technologies, and discuss OpenStack’s lasting impact in the cloud ecosystem. We’ll also discuss how OpenStack is changing and adapting to shifts in the technology landscape, both as an open source community and in terms of product offerings. Learn about new interoperability programs targeted at use cases that didn’t exist seven years ago, and new initiatives from the OpenStack technical community and Foundation.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

It’s Clearly a Multi-Cloud World
“Although there is often a compulsion among pundits to
compare AWS and its financial success to OpenStack,
the truth is that the two aren't always direct competitors.”
29. OpenStack is emerging as a standard for
the on-premises component of hybrid cloud
Craig McLuckie, Google
As we know, OpenStack is open source software that allows anyone to build and operate a public or private cloud. We often talk about the economic advantages of using open source can lower costs and lead to better software, but lately I’ve been thinking that it goes much deeper - creating software and openly sharing it with others is a lot more fundamental part of what makes us human.
It’s just the way we are built, and what sets us apart.
What got me thinking in this direction was a talk I heard given by Yuval Harari studies early humans and writes that the reason man has been so successful, is do to our unique capability to communicate ideas and cooperate at at global scale.
2 Million years ago, our early ancestors spread out from Africa to Eurasia. At that time, there were at a handful of different human species, co-existing as small hunter gatherer tribes and although we had tools, primitive languages and a larger brain we were not very remarkable.
200,000 years ago our direct ancestors, Homo Sapiens appeared,
But somewhere around 70,000 years ago things really began to change. Wherever Homo Sapiens went, other human species moved towards extinction as we began to dominate the ecosystem.
While some scientists debate whether this was due to a change in our brain structure, what was clear was that instead of the environment changing us through natural selection, we started to use our imagination, language, and social organization to evolve at much much faster rate than genetics would have allowed.
Instead of our environment changing us through natural selection, we used our imagination, language, and social behaviors to evolve at a much fast rate, taking charge of our destiny.

We started farming, plant crops for a future harvest, introducing agriculture which support a very much larger population.
We created the concepts of law, governments, and culture. Things that we forget are not actually real, but are necessary for large societies to exist. Nations, religious beliefs, myths, and exist not in the world, but become very parts of life and form the basis for the creation of our technology and culture.
This continues today,
Man is above all an inventor. And our ability to imagine things that don’t exist is an essential part of invention
With the invention of computers and software, abstractions play a critical role. We talk about services, API’s, Virtual Machines and containers. None of these things really exist but are necessary concepts required for our work.
We also then invent ways of working together so that thousands of developers, who might never have had an in-person conversation can work on common projects with rules governing how we accept changes.
And what could be more abstract than cloud computing. If you’ve ever had to try to explain cloud computing to someone outside technology, I’m sure you know what I mean. Where exactly is the cloud?
Or how software is now being moved around in containers.
Software is changing the world, And Open Source is how we share our ideas, creating entire communities around different projects
No where is this more evident than what we see happenind on Github. With Github, we are now sharing code as never before. Developers today are collaborating like never before, building on each other’s work, and learning at an ever faster rate.
Most importantly, software and the automation that it brings, can have real impact on the running of data centers. Brining faster agility and lower costs. And Open source plays an important role in de-risking the investment by avoiding vendor lock-in.
When applied to the operational aspects of running a data center, we can turn the manual configuring of infrastructure into code, automating procedures, reducing error rates and speeds up process changes.
For Cisco, there are very real, concrete business reasons for Open Source.
Customer want open architectures.
Customers want open solutions and the ability to draw from the growing ecosystems built around open platforms.
So in what follows, I’m simply highlight a few of the areas in Cisco is making investments
Cisco joined 300 other developers at the Santa Clara Diablo design summit in 2011. In 2012, Cisco, along with many of the other leading IT companies created the OpenStack Foundation to support the developer community and bring us all together with users and operators in events such as this.
As Vice-chairman I often talk how the OpenStack foundation is an example of how the IT industry is changing. Customers are demanding open source platforms and the OpenStack community provides a way for us all to come together to build an open platform.
I’ve always used this as an example of how companies, some of which fiercely compete in the market can come together to build a platform from which can all benefit. Customers today are asking their vendors to cooperate in this way to create a more efficient market and standardized platforms.
Open Daylight is a project which serves as a good example of this strategy. As OpenStack was being formed, software defined networking was also taking off. Open Daylight is a community driven open source project to develop an open source software defined networking controller. Like OpenStack individual vendors can leverage this work while adding differentiated capabilities.
As we have heard from ATT, Red Hat, and others the Telco industry is embracing OpenStack as a foundational platform for virtualizing networking services. OPNFV is an example of customers coming together to build a reference architecture based on OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and other open technologies.
In this past year it’s also been remarkable to see the rapid adoption of openStack by the telco industry for virtualized networking services. Cisco, as well as others at this conference are heavily involved and I expect to see tremendous advances made in this area over the next couple of years.
Recently Cisco also decided to create a new project, FD.io and open sourced a user-space packet processing engine to push the limits of networking performance. Building on Intel’s DPDK, this VPP engine can process millions of packets per sec bringing line rate capabilities or ordinary servers.
The use of containers and microservices to also prompted Cisco to work with many of these emerging projects to make it easier for developers to develop and maintain their applications on top of open source platforms.
Of course, each of these opportunities require developer. Cisco is therefore investing in the tool chain required for micro services building on the services and open source platforms for containers.
As we have seen on this stage before, companies such as Comcast and others are increasingly moving DVR’s out of the home and into the cloud running OpenStack.
Finally, in recent months, we’ve seen a real explosion in the number of open source projects and foundations.
A few of us on the OpenStack board met with the OPNFV group at a recent meeting of the Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects but it was even more remarkable how many of these 30+ projects were looking for ways of integrating with or leveraging the work we’ve done in the OpenStack community.
And as Chris Wright mentioned yesterday, there is a tremendous opportunity for OpenStack stack to work with these other projects creating an even larger open platform for our users.
So, since we first met here in Austin in 2010, if you want to visually see how the community work, contributing to different projects.
And we’ve had some fun, not taking ourselves too seriously
But make no mistake, we are very serious about winning the Enterprise
And we’ve made great progress. In the latest user survey…
We are not alone. Multi-cloud world
We are not alone. Multi-cloud world
In summary, with open software, open platforms and communities we are using our very human capacity for invention and collaboration to literally change the landscape just as we have done in the past.
